It is very sad for Oklahoman's, when her representative refuses to see the damage pollution causes. I seriously believe Mr. Inhofe should be defeated during the next election, for the sake of the children of Oklahoma.

JOHN KLINE, TULSA (10/27/2007 7:05:35 AM)

Inhofe has a lot to learn. Has anyone told him that the Earth is round, not flat? He could have a new theory to rebut.

The global warming fear maching is being supported and financed by the elitists that have massive carbon footprints.These elitists have huge mansions,huge air condiioning and heating systems,huge SUV's,huge lawns that require huge machines to maincure the lawns,private jet airplanes that consume huge,huge amounts of fuel,and their palatial homes contain massive amounts of wood and marble...Don't be fooled by these control freaks,,,,when they say "it's not the money".....IT'S THE MONEY!

The controllers are part of inhofe's party Oracle you once again has got it all wrong.

Once again typical neocon response to the facts. The overwhelming majority of Scientist back up this position of gobal warming! Here's a thought.......take both hands, reach around and grab you neck and pull on it real hard and get it out of the!!!!!!

E T, tulsa (10/27/2007 8:26:36 AM)

Tony G is your typical liberal who plays the do it for the children card when ever an issues comes up. this global warming is a bunch of bunk. te earth goes through cyle changes. it was 30 yerars ago scientists were playing another ice age card. most of the scientists have threatened to sue al gore if he uses their name to back up his convenient lie. al gore, do as i say but don't do as i do. he won't go green but tells everyone else to go green. he takes his nice shiny jet wherever he goes.

I'm keeping the quote in the 3rd paragraph(as well as the whole article) in a word document and backing it up in another place so I won't ever lose it. Can't wait to pull this up in 30 years or so and have a good laugh at Big Jim!

The following applies doubly for a chronic nose full of toxic alpine air from ExxonMobil for a paycheck for Evil Inhofe - Marc Morano spoken during Rush’s oxycontin/morano days. “Partial-birth abortion is a whole different subject than abortion. ... A woman's right to choose is not even part of this” (“Wednesday Quotes: A Voice Too Right-On To Ignore”; Rush Limbaugh, the Rush Limbaugh Show; rushlimbaugh*com, 11/13/02)

Ozonator, Baton Rouge (10/30/2007 4:48:29 AM)

Herr Von Kauffman,

You are incorrect and an extremist Republican and Christian to write “Most comments confuse toxic pollution with ... carbon dioxide. Without it, no plants, no people ... reviews with fact, not climate dogma”. It is more true that no Al Gore, none of your lies using internet electrons.

F. Pane, Berwyn PA (10/30/2007 8:48:53 PM)

Inhofe is right. In Britain, as the result of a law suit by a school board member against the government that ordered showing of Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth", it was ruled that the film could be shown only with cautionary "guidance notes" because of the inaccuracies and the showing of the counter film "The Great Global Warming Swindle" produced by Britain's Channel 4.

Typical show biz, plagiarized my abortion portion but not Evil Inhofe. Darn, LABI Limbaugh must have thrown Evil Inhofe under the bus.

”RUSH ... a parrotlet, the tiniest parrot that there is ... named ... Stumpy ... Life exists to live, in whatever form that it takes place, be it animal, a human being, a plant, or what have you ... its whole purpose is to sustain itself ...  Every living organism has this.  It has this innate will to live.  And when you see that, either in an animal or human or what have you, and then you contrast that to the whole abortion movement, which it really is, the people who are suggesting that some people shouldn't live because of the circumstances they're going to be born to and so forth, you look at these little animals, and, especially pets, they're just the essence of innocence like little babies are” (”Stumpy and the Miracle of Nature”; Mr. Rush “LABI” Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity extremist Republican and Christian hosts of corporate whoredom for tired media outlets; Standard Oil’s royal eunuch, plagiarism’s epicenter, and RNC liars club; rushlimbaugh*com, 10/30/07).

And, aren't you retards the ones who don’t want our US Extreme Court and that branch of government not to use laws outside the US to judge the red, white, and blue to get your own way with our bodies and other resources?

Jeff Grant, Waterbury, CT (12/23/2007 9:08:11 AM)

I've been a conservationist since high school and am embracing the "global warmists", except for the mantra that demands my tax dollars to be spent foolishly (again). I'm all for energy conservation and alternative fuels. It is too bad that we can't fully debate this issue, since I truly believe that climate change is happening regardless what we may do. We should spend our money to save people from harm. We should observe the planet carefully and respond accordingly. The biggest single polluter is China!

Ozonator, Baton Rouge (10/27/2007 10:23:32 PM)

Golly Gosh Lori;

I didn't get none of LABI Limbaugh's free oxycontin to enjoy selling my chillin' and organs into slavery like you. I feel like a real victim now. Maybe we can meet up in Aspen and complain about those Mexican and space aliens while swapping spouses. Then in the springtime, we can become born-again with a big donation to ORU and start this natural cycle all over again while ignoring the drought and flooding in Oklahoma!

James, Weatherford (10/28/2007 12:11:00 AM)

Gee, Lori, let's parse your name-calling here. "ultra liberal, pro-gay, pro-abortion, spoiled rich kid," huh?

ultra-liberal = anything not reich wing

pro-gay = thinks gay people deserve the same rights as everyone else (the nerve!)

pro-abortion = thinks women should actually have the CHOICE about what happens to their own bodies (the nerve!)

spoiled rich kid = has as much money as the republican running for the same office.

And you really believe Inhofe is better? Thanks for illustrating my earlier point (It is amazing how well the GOP plays these ignorant voters, and equally amazing how the ignorant voters fall for it every time).

L.Hayes, Tulsa (10/28/2007 3:13:28 AM)

Lori, usually its the women who pick-up on numbnut idiots like Jim Inhofe who whore for the corporate pimps, but YOU are truely the exception. They havent made an aspirin big enough to tackle the pain you must feel between your ears. Even my ex-wife wasnt as dumb as you are.

Violet Cauthon, Former 40-yr. Tulsan (10/28/2007 10:40:24 AM)

Perhaps after his latest two-hour! harangue in the Senate, Tulsa County will finally, finally, FINALLY, boot Inhofe out. I fondly remember many of intelligent Tulsans during my life there. I urge them to get out and work, hard, for Inhofe's opponent. Those citizns who vote for anything, even a horse's patoot, if he's branded GOP. . . well, what can I say about being brain dead.

Sean, Toronto (10/29/2007 11:58:22 AM)

I would just like to respond to ET in Tulsa, who wrote above "30 yerars ago scientists were playing another ice age card".

ET, this is not true. It's something repeated by Inhofe and other deniers, certainly, but the reality is there was no peer-reviewed science and no scientists claiming in the 70's that global cooling was on it's way.

This is a myth put out by the global warming deniers to confuse persons like you. Go find the Newsweek article that feeds this lie and read it. Look for a reference to a single scientist claiming global cooling is happening. There are none.

In fact, the only real scientist quoted in the article said that (at the time) we don't know enough to even ask the right questions yet.

Now, things are obviously different. Every single scientific academy and society in every single industrialized nation agrees that humans are causing global warming.

Inhofe is either insane, or deeply dishonest.

Joel M. Kauffman, Berwyn, PA (10/29/2007 8:21:58 PM)

Most comments confuse toxic pollution with release of the essential fertilizer, carbon dioxide. Without it, no plants, no people.

There is solid evidence that the last 100 ppm of carbon dioxide addition has not caused any global warming. As one of a dozen reviews with fact, not climate dogma,see: Journal of American Physicians & Surgeons, 2007, vol 12, #3.

James, Weatherford (10/27/2007 11:59:50 AM)

Inhofe is the consummate corporate whore. He will say and do whatever he is told by the big $$$ contributors in the GOP. Because they profit when the American government does nothing, he plays the dutiful "skeptic." Because they profit from unsupervised no-bid contracts when we stay in Iraq, he votes to stay in Iraq.

When is the last time he voted for the common man instead of his corporate masters? Almost never!!! Yet thousands of Oklahoma rubes vote Republican time and time again so they can be protected from "the homosexual agenda" or from "Islamofascism." It is amazing how well the GOP plays these ignorant voters, and equally amazing how the ignorant voters fall for it every time. One would think they would learn...

RMS, Tulsa (10/27/2007 4:32:19 PM)

Regardless of the reasons for global warming,it is surely in all our interests to improve the quality of the air we breathe. Remember this,we will never destroy the EARTH,however we can destroy ourselves. The EARTH will recover from whatever damage we do to it,no matter how long it takes! Ignorance is bliss,for it is folly to be wise. I do not understand senator Inhofe's motives for ignoring all of the signs of climate change,regardless of the cause.

chris, tulsa (10/27/2007 5:51:58 PM)

well, I for one cannot wait until we get to see the large front page photo on the Tulsa World that shows senator Inhofe with his foot stuck right into his mouth! Not to mention without the expensive shoes he undoubtedly purchased with his generous donations from oil companies. **cough****cough** perhaps from the one who would "donate" to our river!!

Ozonator, Baton Rouge (10/27/2007 8:24:04 PM)

Looks like somebody got 3 magical bean for his ExxonMobil cash cow and is now selling freshly cleared terminal and lateral moraines in Greenland in a mom and pop boiler room with Marc “the Viking farmer without a bottom in his chaps” Morano. Evil Inhofe’s happy cult will include free cable that includes seal clubbing that is different than hippies and minorities, reindeer and Santa’s elf porn that looks like horses and children, and more ice cold fresh water than in the entire state of Oklahoma.

Johnathan Marlow, Tulsa (10/27/2007 8:48:16 PM)

So sad to see oil money so blatently obvious in the words of our representative. Is everything in Oklahoma for sale?

Lori, Tulsa (10/27/2007 9:37:12 PM)

Jim Inhofe is still better than the ultra liberal, pro-gay, pro-abortion, spoiled rich kid who is the democrat hopeful. Can you believe Kathy Taylor has held two fund raisers for him already?
